Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or other milk)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 eggs
- 2 bananas, roughly chopped
- 2 handfuls baby spinach (about 2 cups, packed)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (optional) (1 scoop)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp matcha powder (optional)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a blender combine the liquid first and then all other ingredients (except chocolate chips if using). Blend until completely smooth, taking time to scrape down the sides (or use the tamper for a Vitamix) as needed. See notes if not using a high powered blender.
- Pour the muffin mixture into the lined muffin tin, filling to the top. If using chocolate chips, scatter them on top of the muffins.
- Place in the oven and bake for 17 to 19 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for ten minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
Notes
Blender: if you’re not using a high powered blender, blend the oats first to make a flour. Remove and set aside in a large bowl. Then blend the almond milk, coconut oil, eggs, spinach, maple syrup and vanilla. To the bowl with the oat flour, add the remaining dry ingredients and stir. Then pour in the wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into the muffin tin and top with chocolate chips if using.
